A review by elskesbooknook
A Wizard of Earthsea: The First Book of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

adventurous medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

I felt like there was a beautiful message in the last pages of Earthsea, but unfortunately it's writing style and lack of depth in both characters and plot made the message fall flat for me. Turns out that, ironically, epic fantasies need more than 150 pages to keep me invested.
